If you love sweets and chocolates, I'm sure you would enjoy my book review. Roahl Dahl's famous work, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory has been chosen by me for the book review for this month. This story features a young boy named Charlie Bucket alongside with the not so normal chocolatier, Willy Wonka. As fancy as this book may sound, it does have a few lesson that can be absorbed by the readers.
Honesty pays. After Wonka dismissed Charlie, Charlie still returned the Everlasting Gobstopper. A lot of the times we use the fact that someone has dishonour us as permission to “return the favor.” But remember, two wrongs don’t make a right. Never have and never will. Whether you receive a big payoff like Charlie or just the knowledge that your reputation will remain, honesty still pays.
Don’t be afraid to dream big. Of course, this is one of my favorite lessons from this story. Charlie is a boy from the poorest of the poor, his four grandparents share a bed just so he can have his own space. While other kids are ripping open hundreds of Wonka bars to find a golden ticket, Charlie could only get his hands on two. Yet, he has the courage to dream that he could win a golden ticket. This is a dreamer. You know how the story ends…Charlie’s dream of winning a golden ticket comes true, but he ends up with riches beyond his wildest dreams.
Do things out of love. Whether it’s Mrs Bucket’s sacrifice of that morning slice of bread, or Grandpa Joe’s last coin, cabbage soup, nibbles of chocolate, they each sacrifice or share whatever they have. They do it out of love with no expectations whatsoever except the hope that the other is the better for it.
Everybody loves chocolate. That’s pretty self explanatory. Everybody loves chocolates. From the ninety six and a half year old Grandpa Joe to the short, cute yet disturbing Oompa-Loompas. There is no finer food known to man. Kudos to whoever invented chocolate.
